CONTEST IS CLOSED
Three more days and we will all bid goodbye to 2011. I can't believe that another year is over! Everything still feels like yesterday. As they say, time flies so fast and before you realize it, a lot of things have already happened.
2011 will forever remain as a lucky and memorable year for me. My first ever international research presentation and first trip abroad happened in this year. God has also been gracious enough to give me plenty of free lance jobs. Though the early months of my 2011 wasn't that good because I lost a friend and I was almost hospitalized just because of neglected cough, God compensated and gave me a blast at the end of the year.
I also had my share of bad times and frustrations in 2011, but all the blessings were more than enough to make me happy and thankful. So to further spread the luck and happiness, I'm hosting my second humble GIVEAWAY!
Here's what you can win
Since most of my blog friends, followers and readers are female, I decided to have a pink tote bag for the giveaway.
How to join?
1. leave a comment (including your full name, blog url and email address) and
2. answer this question
"Among my 2011 posts, which one did you like the most?"
You don't have to be a follower or make a post for my giveaway to qualify. :-) But if you want to do so, I will highly appreciate it. Everyone is entitled to only one entry. The prize will be shipped for free to anywhere in the world. The winner will be drawn through random.org and will be announced anytime on January 2, 2012. You can join my giveaway as long as I don't disable the comments in this post.
This post is my favorite because I am a fan of giveaways. More power to your fab blog. Hope to win :)

That's a really cute totebag, Diane! There are several of your posts that I've really enjoyed. I especially like those where you have shared about your family & traditions. I also really enjoyed seeing the posts about your trip to Taiwan.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a very Happy New Year!

Oops, I forgot about the Pretzel Hugs. They are super-easy. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper (not necessary, but makes it less messy). Put a Spread out some pretzels (I use square ones) & put a Hershey's Hug on top of each pretzel. Put them into a 200* oven for about 7 minutes or until they just start to melt. Remove from oven & put 2 or 3 M&M's on top, pressing them into the Hershey's Hugs. They need to set up for a day or you can put them in your fridge for a few hours. Good luck!

ReplyDeleteHi Diane,
ReplyDeleteThanks for inviting me to enter your giveaway. The bag is so cute, and I love pink! I enjoy the different cultural perspective of your blog, and at the same time, the similarities. My favorite post of yours was the one where you talked about weddings and how everyone gave away their things.
HI!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's really hard to decide which one is my favorite. I must say that I LOVE your food posts. The ones you talk about the foods in your country. They just look too yummy!
Hi Diane - what a divine bag. I am new to your blog but have had a good look and I adore the travel posts - fingers crossed and HAPPY NEW YEAR to you,

Hi Diane! That is a reeaaallly cute shade of pink! I know I might be too late to win that prize but I'd like to answer your question anyway. My favourite entry of yours was about your business, Notepads Unlimited (it inspired me) and it's not even in this blog site hahaha! =)
ReplyDeleteHope you had a wonderful holiday and more happiness to you for the coming days! =)
Yes, umabot ako!! I didn't have internet connection the past weeks and I can't seem to leave a comment when browsing using my phone.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, love your giveaway! My favorite post is the one where you shared your Christmas tree ideas (because I got a lot of ideas). A close second is when you finally announced that you got to go on your trip :)
Wishing you more blessings this 2012 Dianne!
